    Id love for the character creator to be more nuanced. But as people pointed out, it would require a lot of work. Im not opposed to that, but revamping character creation does not seem like something SE is going to do pragmatically, particularly when the shelf life of MMOs is shrinking. I cant, honestly, remember any relatively modern MMO that redid its character creation other than WoW (at most) to the degree thats being asked for.

    I remember SWTOR eventually made a patch where you could unlock other factions races which was a big thing at the time. Although it was poorly done since the dialogue still referred to you as an Imperial race. I think I played as a Sith Pureblood Jedi for the novelty and everyone in the Republic referred to my character as "human". It was a lazy implementation, but at the very least it did encourage me to make an alt and start playing the game in ways the first batch of players couldn't.
